Decorative Desserts, Nancy





When I saw the cakes my friend made two things came to my mind: 1) She should be on the show Ace of Cakes 2) Next time I have a party I want her to make my cake. To me these cakes look absolutely amazing and the way she makes these theme cakes and baked goods is an art. In fact, the cakes are so awesome looking that I don't even want to eat them (joke). The more I saw these cakes, a thought came to my mind. After traveling to several different countries one thing that I've learned is that Americans love and make some of the best foods and that we can use foods to make beautiful and hardworking creations, such as these cakes. It amazes me that we can take something as simple as baking and make it into a form of art.
Another factor I had in mind was that these decorative cakes and cupcakes remind me of Jeff Koons' artwork. His artwork was very contempory and many of his works are a model of pop culture items and ideas. Many of my friends decorative desserts resemble pop culture items or ideas, such as the NY Mets cake or the Las Vegas theme birthday cake.
